An Athens man told police he was sexually assaulted while playing Pokemon Go, according to a media report.

The man said the incident happened Tuesday in a parking lot, the Athens Banner-Herald reported. The victim did not leave or call for help because he thought the other person, who was described as a man in his mid-20s to early 30s, might have a weapon.
